The England flanker James Haskell is to have a clear-the-air meeting with the Stade Français president, Max Guazzini, to sort out his future with the club following a dispute with England last month over who had first call on the 25-year old.

Guazzini complained to the International Rugby Board after England refused to release Haskell during a fallow weekend of the Six Nations. Stade wanted him to play against Toulouse, but the back-rower remained in camp with England after the Rugby Football Union said the player's club contract gave the national side priority.

Guazzini disagreed and warned there would be consequences. Haskell, who has a year to run on his contract, was left out of the match squad for the Heineken Cup quarter-final against Toulouse earlier this month with the Stade coach, Jacque Delmas, saying it was a rugby decision and that it was not a punishment for what had happened the previous month.

Given that Haskell had been a virtual ever-present for Stade throughout the season when he was available, the selection made little sense and Stade ended up playing the entire second half with two No8s in their back row and were overrun at the breakdown.

"I was gutted to miss out on the quarter-final," Haskell told frenchrugbyclub.com. "There are some issues that have to be sorted out with Stade and I have got a meeting coming up which will achieve that. There has been a bit of a misinterpretation and we need to resolve it because there is obviously an issue.

"I love the club and we have to make sure that we work it out. I have just turned 25 and my career is very important to me. I'm also very loyal to Stade Français. I love playing for them and I've done so 24 times this season, which is almost every game I could play apart from the ones I missed on international duty. I've given everything I can to the club this year, but international rugby is the most important thing. It's what I want to achieve and it's what I want to keep on achieving until I'm no longer required, my body can't cope, or someone better comes along."

Haskell said he had no regrets about leaving Wasps for Stade last summer. "The opportunity to come and play for Stade and to get to play with the players that play for them has helped on every level. I've grown up as a person, which is what I wanted to achieve, and I think my rugby has certainly got better. I've also got back into the England squad, so from that point of view it's been very good.

"Clearly, the results at Stade Français haven't gone our way. We've had two changes of coach throughout the season and I've had an issue with Stade with my release for England. There's always the rough with the smooth, but actually in terms of the move I'm very, very pleased and I don't think it could have gone much better really.

He added: "Sometimes you think you've got it all figured, but each year your life goes by and you look back and realise, 'I had no idea.' But I feel I've matured a little bit and I've enjoyed the French lifestyle and the French people."
